This is an exciting opportunity to join a specialist technical team, responsible for the maintenance and operability of over 450 boreholes that provide 50% of Anglian Water’s raw water supply. It's also a great opportunity to support our increased investment in groundwater maintenance teams within our region.

Projects will include borehole pump replacements, borehole rehabilitation and refurbishment, condition-based surveys, water quality and yield investigations and borehole performance testing, in addition to a wide range of other borehole and groundwater related operability issues.

The role will involve working closely with a number of internal and external stakeholders, particularly the Anglian Water Groundwater Engineering Unit (GWEU), Supply Operational Teams and the Environment Agency. With time, the successful applicant would be expected to
